- Description
- Indiana Gov. Mike Braun is urging voters to support a November ballot measure that would give judges power to revoke bail in more criminal cases.
In a newly released video, Governor Braun thanked lawmakers for supporting Question 1, which asks Hoosiers whether judges should be able to deny bail to defendants charged with certain crimes. The legislation Braun signed earlier this year directs courts to consider evidence against the defendant and the nature of the offense—including whether it involved drugs, alcohol, or violence. Voters will decide this November whether the measure becomes law.

Public Question 1 appears on every Hoosier ballot. If approved, it would bring an amendment to the state constitution to allow judges to deny bail to suspects that prosecutors consider dangerous to the public.
Under Indiana's current constitution, judges can deny bail only in cases involving murder or treason.
